Ruan Mianmian heard the two men's plans clearly.

Then he circled back to the main entrance and returned to Ruan Mansion from the main entrance.

Mr. Ruan has three sons and one daughter.

Except for Ruan Qian who entered the official career, the second son Ruan Cheng and the third son Ruan Yan worked hard for half their lives, but still did not have any fame.

Ruan Cheng was a motivated man. Although he could not become an official, he was very good at calligraphy and painting, and had gained a place among famous students.

Ruan Yan didn't have this temper anymore, and instead took on the important task of growing the Ruan family. He married the fifth wife's aunt and worked at home every day. Unfortunately, he was not strong in this aspect and only had one son and two daughters.

After Ruan Qian was demoted, Ruan Cheng and Ruan Yan were unwilling to leave the capital with their eldest brother, but sent their daughters-in-law back to fulfill their filial piety.

As for the large family in Beijing, the second concubine, Aunt Chen, is in charge of the house.

It stands to reason that she does not have the role of a concubine's housekeeper, but this Aunt Chen is very lucky. Her younger brother has been promoted, and she is good at officialdom and socializing. In just five years, she found a fifth-rank official position in Beijing.

Although his official position is not high, he has real power, so Chen's status has also increased.

Very talkative at home.

Mrs. Lu had just returned home, so naturally she wanted to lay out the rules for her mistress. It was late at night, but she was still setting rules for Aunt Chen.

After hearing the report from the concierge, Miss Ruan San returned to her house. She was too lazy to take care of the matter. She remembered Master Ruan Er's instructions and got up to pick her up in person.

Aunt Chen was still kneeling in her Qiutang Garden.

"Mianmian, where have you been? Why didn't you tell your second aunt? It made me worry."

Ruan Mianmian never thought that her second aunt could speak so many words at once. She worked hard to be transparent in Su City.

Ruan Mianmian didn't say what she was doing. She just asked, "Why haven't you seen the second uncle and the third uncle?"

"Your second uncle has some entertainment today and he hasn't returned home yet. Your third uncle has already rested."

It stands to reason that when Mr. Lu and the others return to Beijing, Aunt Chen will have to prepare to take the wind and wash away the dust. However, Mr. Ruan and Mr. Ruan are both people who are afraid of trouble, and it is not the old man or the eldest brother who comes back, so they have no intention of welcoming a junior. .

"I'm tired from shopping today and want to take a rest."

Mrs. Lu was still thinking about cleaning up Aunt Chen's affairs, so naturally she didn't want to waste any more time with Ruan Mianmian, "Okay, then I'll let Pearl take you back to the courtyard."

"Alright."

Pearl picked up the lamp and lit the way for Ruan Mianmian. She had just passed the moon cave door in the backyard and was about to turn to the right.

Ruan Mianmian suddenly stopped, "Is Hongyu Pavilion over there? Who lives there now?"

Pearl was very confused as to when Miss Ruan San started to have an affair with the aunt of the third wife, but she was a little maid and had to answer her master's words, not to mention it was not a big deal.

"Go back to Third Miss, that's where Third Master's Aunt Mei lives."

When Ruan Mianmian heard the name, he couldn't help but want to take a look.

The Aunt Mei in the book is fat where she should be, and thin where she should be. She has a small face as big as a palm, with affectionate eyebrows. She has a rare charm in her body, which is particularly attractive.

Except for being unable to give birth, everything else is perfect.

I just didn't expect that she would be captured by Mu Zifeng a long time ago. The two of them must be eight years apart.

Ruan Mianmian knew who the person was, and she became defensive, so she returned to her Nuanxiangzhai with confidence.

……

next day
Ruan Mianmian slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

It wasn't that she stayed in bed for a rare occasion, but because she changed places, she suddenly couldn't sleep. She didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn, and it was too late to get up.

Qiu Shui had long been familiar with the layout of Nuanxiangzhai. He poured hot water for Ruan Mianmian to wash up, and then went to the big kitchen to bring breakfast to serve Ruan Mianmian for dinner. "I heard that the second master and the third master are having their meals separately in the morning. Will the third miss go to greet them later?"

"Don't go."

Qiu Shui wants to persuade her that as they are all elders, the third lady must do the scene work that she should do, otherwise she will get a reputation of being unfilial.

"They didn't even want to see me yesterday. As relatives, if you are good to me, I will naturally be good to you. If they don't take it to heart, there is no need to get together."

Ruan Mianmian had a bowl of millet porridge but didn't want to eat it much. She still felt uncomfortable in her stomach after riding in the car for days.

After finishing breakfast, he changed into light men's clothes and went out.

She didn't know if Brother Qing and the others had settled in. She had to go and see if there was any money-making business.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to do anything in a place like the capital where wealth and wealth gather.

Ruan Mianmian went out and went to Linxian Pavilion.

She had seen it yesterday. The environment by the canal was very nice, but there were not many shops. It was very suitable for her to open a new store.

As soon as Ruan Mianmian arrived at the Linxian attic, she saw a group of people outside the door.

They were all rough, big men with dirty mouths, and they looked like they were here to collect protection money.

But isn’t this King Mian’s restaurant?

Ruan Mianmian thought about going to the teahouse opposite to eat melon, but unexpectedly she met the Duke of Zhen Guo.

Huo Gan once again confirmed that the future Princess Mian was interested in him, otherwise why would she meet him by chance every day.

But she was already engaged, and the young father-in-law was very distressed.

"Miss Ruan San..."

Looking at his expression, Ruan Mianmian knew that he was thinking too much, "I just came out to open a shop and do some small business."

Huo Gan only heard the word 'doing business', "You want to do business by the Liang River?"

Ruan Mianmian nodded firmly, "The cost of going to the East Market is too high, and the West Market is not as good as here."

"You... must have just returned to Beijing, and you don't know yet that you can't do it here."

"Why?" Ruan Mianmian thought of the big men under the Linxian attic just now.

"Officials in the capital below the third rank cannot stand by the Lianghe River. Those above the third rank do not want to attract attention by doing business here." Huo Gan had a mysterious look on his face.

Ruan Mianmian thought for a while, "Is this the land of the Qianqiu King?"

Huo Gan's hand holding the teacup shook, and the tea soaked his robe, "Did...Prince Mian tell you?"

"Even the prince doesn't look down on him. If he is above the third rank, he doesn't want to attract attention. Who else can he do except the emperor's younger brother, King Qianqiu."

This Huo Gan's brain is not very good, no wonder he can't make any money.

Huo Gan fell into deep thought at this time. He thought about another question seriously. After a while, he said, "Otherwise, you can come with me."

Huo Gan thinks that Miss Ruan San is very powerful. She is not only smart but also has many ideas.

He went back and walked around his restaurant yesterday, but he still didn't know what to do.

Ruan Mianmian looked at the big men who had walked away downstairs, thinking in her mind.

Originally she didn't want to be with others and would be subject to a lot of restrictions, but if she wanted to make money in a short period of time and have a solid backer, this young father-in-law was really a good choice.

"Let's go to your restaurant first!"
